Mostly 5.2.3+, some 4.x (haven't looked lately) but I imagine even the
worst of those hosts will upgrade soon, or die.

A MySQL wrapper - needed it for a PITA host once, still easier / lighter

Right tool for the job. I'm comfortable in either. Most of my work these
days is in a large open source procedural framework, but I'm slowly working
more and more OOP into it. :-)

Kubuntu Hardy.

5.2.4

For my personal stuff, hosted FreeBSD. At my company, we use a web host
that's running either RHEL or Fedora. (I honestly forget which.)

5.2.6
> *Which HTTP Server Software (+version)?*
Apache 2 in most places, but I think a few may be running 1.3 for no good
reason.
> *IDE / Dev Environment*
Zend Studio 5.5 is the only IDE I can actually say I like. More recent
versions of Eclipse / Eclipse PDT at least don't suck as much as they used
to, which is the only good thing I can say about any of 'em.
> *Preferred Framework(s)?*
98% of my PHP is written on, for, and with Drupal. :-)
> *Do you Unit Test?*
For internal framework stuff (where I can do proper TDD), extensively. For
day to day for clients, not all that much. Most of that work is not really
unit-testable to begin with, and functional tests are considerably harder to
do at this point in Drupal. (Although that is improving.)
> *Most Used Internal PHP Class*
PDO, probably, since I build the new Drupal DB layer on top of it. However, I
am a huge huge fan of ArrayAccess, simply for its cool factor.
> *Preferred OS CMS*
Drupal (surprise surprise).

Don't underestimate the power of associative arrays. You can get some really
deep, really powerful, really fast data structures with a little care and an
embracing of associative arrays.

5.1.2 thru 5.2.6 ... coding defensively and conservatively generally
means that there are no problems developing on 5.2.6 and rolling out on
5.1.2 but I try to avoid it.
> *Which HTTP Server Software (+version)?*
Apache2.x (some projects run on Apache1.3.x ... but I don't really feel the
difference)

> *Preferred Framework(s)?*
I eat my own dogfood. I like the look of code in ZendFramework but the
whole library thang I find rather intrusive ... if I find something in a
framework I really need/want I generally strip it out - doing away with
everything I don't need, making it conform more to the project in question
and using the 'refactor time' as an excuse to understand the details of
the code in question ... this all assumes that the framework in question
allows for this kind of thing (I always leave in the relevant author
attributions, etc)
> *Do you Unit Test?*
not really, but I generally develop in a unit-testy kind of way, I write
code that is known to fail because it relies on as yet unwritten code ... I run
it to check it fails as expected then iteratively add required, unwritten code,
checking at each step to see it fail in a new, exzpected way then add the next
piece
until Im left with the end result.
I really should get into unit testing, deadlines, lack of budget and general
intertia always seem to get in the way ... I must do better :-/
> *Most Used Internal PHP Class*
Exception. I also use Iterator & related interfaces quite a bit.
> *Preferred OS CMS*
er? I'll hack anything if I have to. but I don't really have a preference,
never really found anything that satisfies my desire for clean, understandable
code. the usual suspects are all somewhat familiar to me but I wouldn't call
them
friends.
I want to take a look the new typo3 engine ... it seems very ambitious and
Im interested in the potential for a generic workflow engine.
> *Anything else you use frequently in you're PHP'ing that's worth
> mentioning:*
I use APC quite a bit, play with memcache when I can. and I use firebird
(which is a right can of worms atm with regard to the status quo of the php
extension ... as a DB firebird is very cool).
phpmailer often makes an appearance in projects - I find it to be a very simple,
quick wrapper for handling web-originated emails (not bulk mailing though ... I
use
mimemail class with tyhe qmail extension for that generally).
Sphinx searchd/indexer is what I'm currently getting to grips with ... other
than
the basic configuration and figuring out how to managably work with delta
updates
Im scratching my head as to how to manage sphinx search/indexing for multiple,
small
sites on a single server.
oh ... I also frequently use this list as a stress-relief mechanism ;-)

Procedural in design. And code a bit different. I'm groupping my functions
under classes like util, user, session etc. Each function is public static.
also I got some public static arrays and strings. like k5::$config etc.
This gives me some kind of name space and prevent any kind of variable chrash.

Using PHP array format for storing data to generate greater benefit opcode
cache.
I'm using inline coding format for templates. Much faster than traditional
search and replace model and with opcode cache even more faster.

I ended up using an example from the PHP website.
<?php
$input = array("Neo", "Morpheus", "Trinity", "Cypher", "Tank");
$rand_keys = array_rand($input, 2);
echo $input[$rand_keys[0]] . "\n";
echo $input[$rand_keys[1]] . "\n";
?>
Just extended the array to the number of lines I needed.

Hi,
I am developing my first application that will have to handle with japanese
data stored in a MySQL database. After digging a while it seems that I'd
have to set all pieces (from the charset of the apache, to the encoding of
the templates and database fields) set to UTF-8.
I'd like to know if there is something special that I have to be aware when
doing searches. I am not sure that this is more related to PHP or MySQL
itself so before sending to them (MySQL list) I'd like to hear from you.
Thanks.

Make sure your character collation is utf also as that is exactly what
it's for. You might need to use something like mysql_set_charset().
You'll need something like this also:
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
The reason I say this is because however you put your data in is how
you need to search on it. So if you inject utf8 into a latin1 db
you're going to have a hard time in the future. Other than that
everything else should just work fine.
